This is so true.
There is no end to improvement and especially for self improvement.
Don’t think you’ve maxed out because that’s exactly when you need to reach out and improve more.
Don’t ever think you don’t need to reach out to someone to help you improve. We can’t do it all on our own that’s for sure. And when you think you know it all and don’t need any assistance from anyone, well that’s a rough spot cuz you’ll either be stagnating and sinking or figuring it out and swimming. So…go swimming!!

Want to do something fun with your horses this winter? My favorite game to play in the cold is to set up obstacles in an arena and hide treats around. I call it hide and seek the treat. It gets your horse to engage with obstacles and encourages curiosity. once they find all the treats you can complete the obstacle in hand or under saddle. Give it a try and have fun with your horse!

Suck it up buttercup. You’ll get nowhere and never get better if you quit. Quitting may be easier but it’s hardly worth it.

Had a great clinic yesterday at Applewood Ranch. Communication through groundwork is one of my favorite topics to teach. Each participant made good improvements with their horses or in their techniques. Keep tuned in for the next clinic I’ll be hosting soon!

Weather is/was starting to improve finally! Getting lots of first rides on young training horses this month. Pictured is Bree with her first ride in the outdoor area. She was so brave even with windy conditions.

Horses have a wonderful way of keeping you in the moment while working on future goals simultaneously. Looking forward to another year of living the dream.

Wynonna is working hard to get ready for a dressage clinic we are doing together next week. Good sweat equity as I call it. Hard work trumps goodluck everyday 👍

Consistency is one of the most important and influential factors in our relationship with our horses. It’s what drives your level of horsemanship up or down. I ride my personal horses at least 4 days a week and spend one non demanding day with them to build relationship. Imagine what you can do if you practice more consistently. Sweet Iron Horsemanship

Sunrise at the Applewood Ranch. With the intense heat index this week the horses have been going out extra early. Even before the sun comes up. Makes for beautiful pictures
